Lamber Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I've been hearing it for a while but now that we have "officially been (verbally) warned", I'm starting to to wonder: Where do they make this new wonderfull cycling shirt sleeves that protects your shoulder during a fall? 'Cause that's the reason given from the race organiser why we aren't allowed to wear sleeveless shirts. I understand that rules are rules, but there is the rather big problem of cycling shirts not made for average arms, even after cutting the elastic on the inside. Then you can always just buy a XXXXL- but look like a dodgy Capetonian smuggling mossels ekse! Maybe they just don't like our tan lines!

My point exactly! I say ban all sleeves- it gives a false sense of security!
Guest ctMTBer Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 They now have a rule? That stops you from wearing a sleeveless shirt? What next? Are they going to ban v-brakes? Impose speed limits?
